The idea here is to make it uneconomical to merely clip the lines.
If you upgrade the facilities, and are not willing to remove said upgrades, those upgrades should be available to the next tenant.
This is like installing a 120GB hard drive in a machine, then when you sell the computer, open the hard drive, scratch the media, put it back in the computer, and strip out the screws.
There should be some legislation that makes it illegal to cut the lines without removing them completely. When you vacate a space, the wiring should either be useable or gone.
Put a microwave gun in the middle of the receivers, and a cluster of sensors in the middle of the transmitters on the satellite. If the satellite gets out of line, it automatically adjusts itself. If it gets too far out of line, it shuts off. Put the sensors inside a faraday cage tube, so that the angle of the satellite cannot be changed without shutting the whole thing down.
Now there are two problems:
the first is easy - this is a permanent no fly zone around the location.
The second is a bit tougher. I think the workers of this will have roasted bird quite often. They also will have a dead insect problem.
This type of location would have an interesting benefit for the government- They are guaranteed to not have fly-overs by spy planes.

My father makes a LOT of homemade ice cream (rock salt meathod). He was telling me that there is an ingredient that usually takes out much of the ice that is forming. He usually leaves it out.
Remember, it is trivial to burn this to a CD, then re-rip the AAC, MP3, or other without the DRM. You lose some quality, but you also still have the original high quality file.
This single thing debunks your assertion that it could intrude on someone's rights. It dosen't, bacause it is easy to disable the DRM completely.
The reason why everyone is overlooking the DRM of the iTunes Music Store is because it is transparent to most people.
That's right- if you are within fair use, you don't have to worry about the DRM in Apple's AACs. Apple's DRM is enough to keep honest people honest, without restricting their rights. This is much like the way ipods cannot copy music to a computer (without 3rd party software).
If you want to be dishonest, it is trivial to get rid of the DRM, but I hope that you get prosecuted to the full extent of the law for it.
As for me, the DRM stays, and I will be quite content listening to my music on 3 computers (I have 2), any number of cds, or any number of iPods.
Four weeks ago, he called. He could not believe he got ahold of me. He just about passed out when I said hello. I asked him why he was treating me like a god. He replied that my contributions to the world had many great effects on civilization. He only wondered what I could have done if I wasn't so poor while I was young. Unfortunately, the SEC locked his accounts before he could give me the money.

I cannot believe you replied to this about how easy it would be to implement. Everyone agrees with you on this point.
The problem is that, with 100,000 different taxing authorities, there is 100,000 different checks to cut. Oh, and 43,000 are biweekly, 32,000 are quarterly, 15,000 are monthly, and the rest are annually. It is now _your_ job that everyone gets their check, their _individual_ paperwork is filled out, and that you have undeniable proof that everyone got their check and the paperwork is completed. Brick and mortar only have to deal with 1-3 taxing authorities. Online stores will have to deal with 100,000. Collecting the money is the easy part.
Not to mention that it is taxation without representation. If the online store is charging their state's taxes, then I am not being represented. If they are charging my state's taxes, the company is not being represented.
As a rebuttal, I will describe my experiences at the polls.
I voted for Al Gore. He was my second choice, but I knew that the others had no chance. I also realize that by not voting for a third party candidate, I was further causing that candidate to have less of a chance.
The Democrats and Republicans rely on this fact that my views (someone else would have made a better president) either don't matter, or matter enough that I end up voting against the Major party that I would rather have in office and a moron gets elected (actually that was his cronies in the Supreme Court's fault).
This is not about giving a vote >1. It's about having a voting tournament. The losers get eliminated in round 1. Round 2 consists of adding those votes into their #2 candidate. This occurs until someone has the clear majority. It happens in sports, and often times it will find a very unexpected outcome that is more fit for the title than the expected winner.
This would open the path to Third Party candidates potentially getting elected, as we, the voters would not collectively feel that this is a wasted vote.
Yeah, actually there is a huge separation. In fact, the state of Maine is buying iBooks for all 7th & 8th graders, partially with a grant from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

There was an article in the local paper a month ago about a Davenport, Iowa person who was in a Apple commercial. Basically, what they do is tape you discussing your switch for a half hour. They don't pre-empt anything, so you come across as honest (since you are) and unrehearsed (since it is a dynamic conversation). They then edit different clips together for a coherent, one-sided explanation for the actual commercial.
Unfortunately the guy that explained all of this stole a everlasting gobstopper and won't be riding in the glass elevator that is an Apple commercial. (He violated a NDA by talking to the newspaper about his experience.)

Crackers don't see themselves as trailer trash, and their mullet is the most stylish way to cut their hair.
They think having the rusty cars in the front yard is useful, because one day you might just need an '84 Trans Am transmission.
They also create websites like this, which was featured on the Cruel site of the day blog.
If you look at the Dexter's lab bedroom, they clearly have a G4 painted black with a 17" apple monitor.
But...
In the text, they list an HP with a 15" monitor.

I think is your 7 year old is the perfect installer... He is too young to be bound by a contract.

I've spoken with people that have talked with "dubya", the SNL "parodies" are spot on.

The "defects" make the ice cream.
I'm sure Jesus has better things to do that defending himself on Slashdot.

"This is especially pathetic when you see that USB's max bandwidth is 480 Mbits, and FireWire is 400."
This is the only incorrect statement in your post, and it is also why your results are crappy.
It should read...
"USB2's results are so pathetic because its max. bandwith is 480Mbps, while firewire has a sustained rate of 400Mbps."
USB2's 480Mbps is FUD, aimed squarely across Firewire's bow. The pathetic thing is that it is working.
